You need a coop camera. I've heard of birds carrying eggs under their wings, but that sounds like quite a challenge for her.

My EE would carry them under her beak. She never went broody but she preferred to have all the eggs next to hers in case some other hen wanted to sit. :idunno

the same way you do at the beach, at least you probably don't have to worry about ants, or coons who run down a tree and take your fried chicken while on a picnic in the park. (we actually saw this happen to some poor people who were having a picnic with a bucket of chicken, the raccoon thought he was invited as well and took a piece of chicken from the bucket!) :lau:lau It wasn't real funny at the time to the people it happened to.

We were on a picnic in the Boston Public Garden once when I was little. A defensive squirrel kept coming over to our picnic blanket, quivering and standing on his hindlegs with determination. My mom tried to beat it off by kicking it but it wouldn't back down. It didn't go away until my sister threw a chocolate granola bar at the nearest tree. I swear that thing was rabid, (or at least very greedy!)

Edited to say that looking back, I respect my mom a ton more now!

Probably just trained to beg by people rewarding it for approaching. It seems so harmless tossing food to wild animals but it really does have repercussions.

We had this experience in Barbados. There are signs everywhere not to feed the monkeys. We arrive at this no-cages zoo and the caretaker by the trails gives a little cup of monkey chow to each 5YO boy to feed to the monkeys. :confused: I got the best picture of a monkey-child moment but then one of the baby monkeys wrapped itself around the other child's leg. I gave it a stern look and it bit him! Not hard enough to break the skin but it had already figured out that startling a child makes them drop the cup. That little monkey is evidence enough that they should stop this (very fun) activity.

In NE Ohio we have a deer problem. People started feeding them, they breed, then they can’t survive without human food supply.
Luckily they don’t bite people. LOL

Normally they don't bite people... but they WILL bite if they are cornered and can't get away any other way...
